Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 147 / Thursday, July 30, 2020 / Notices
in section 9 of the ESA for programs that
are approved by NMFS under the 4(d)
Rule (50 CFR 223.203(b)(6)).
ODFW has submitted an HGMP for
the Clackamas Hatchery Spring Chinook
Salmon program in the Clackamas River
basin under Limit 5 of the 4(d) Rule.
This program is primarily funded by the
National Marine Fishery Service
through the Mitchell Act, and partially
funded by the City of Portland and
Portland General Electric.
Prior to making a final determination
on the submitted HGMP, NMFS must
make it available for the public to have
the opportunity comment on how the
HGMP addresses the criteria in Limit 5
of the 4(d) Rule.
The submitted HGMP describes the
hatchery program along with the
associated monitoring and evaluation
activities. The program will begin to
integrate natural-origin returning adults
into the hatchery broodstock in order to
promote an increase in genetic fitness
and survivability. Through the use of a
conservative sliding scale approach, the
ODFW will incorporate a small
percentage of natural-origin returning
adults. This integrated program will
provide a much needed increase in
genetic fitness to a highly domesticated
hatchery stock that has struggled with
precipitous declining returns for the last
decade. ODFW hopes that this new
management approach will supplement
the much desired mark-selective
Clackamas River spring Chinook salmon
fishery. The program is intended to
mitigate for fish losses caused by the
construction and operation of the
mainstem Columbia River and the
Clackamas River dams by providing
fishing opportunities for tribes and
states, and to contribute to the survival
and recovery of ESA-listed Lower
Columbia River Chinook salmon.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.; subpart
B, § 223.201–202 also issued under 16 U.S.C.
